Current GPS uses 24, but you only need 9 (3 x 3)You can get a GPS system with just 9 satellites?

Some of the biggest funders of the project have urged the EU to stop being silly.
Rice-Pudd thinks a no-deal is great.
No-deal means, among other things, no agreement to use the GPS. Such an agreement would be a deal, or part of one.
An agreement to fly planes over and between countries would be a deal, or part of one.
An agreement of terms to import and export car parts, or live plants, or food, would be a deal, or part of one.
If we resign with no deal, the EU "takes back control" of lots of things. Who can possibly complain about them "taking back control?"
Only an idiot would want a no-deal Brexit
What is Rice-Pudd?
It is so odd that the UK wants desperately to remain part of it, and has been happy to part finance it, and would be happy to continue to part finance it.Its odd that the EU considers post Brexit Britain a higher security risk than China, who are participating in the project. Also odd that they think commercial users will pay for it when they already have GPS. Its starting to look very much like a re-launch of betamax.
https://www.theguardian.com/politic...s-deal-give-uk-guaranteed-access-after-brexitThe EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, is mulling an offer on the satellite project that would put the UK on better terms than other third-party countries over use of the encrypted service, according to diplomatic sources.
You keep making this ludicrous claim when I have repeatedly proved that your claim is nonsense.A no deal also means no £39B divorce bill and no future payments.
And a refusal to stick to commitments means a lower credit rating/higher debt interest payments/even worse trading deals.A no deal also means no £39B divorce bill and no future payments.
That's Brexitland for you!seems a waste of money.

UK government legal experts consider that the divorce payment must be paid whatever the deal/no deal outcome.
And a refusal to stick to commitments means a lower credit rating/higher debt interest payments/even worse trading deals.
Thus costing far more in the long run...
Not to mention finally gaining the reputation of being a 'banana republic' nation!
(we are already a 'laughing stock', so not that big a step)
